1

thus his whole life

01:32

2

took no time at all

01:40

3

and being alone the whole time

01:21

4

became his main sense

03:28

5

that went out from him instinctively

06:30

6

like a long lost drone

03:36

7

searching among mountains

02:59

8

for survivors whose arms and toes

01:27

9

protruded jewel fashion

02:49

10

from turquoise glaciers

02:36

11

and didn't know any better

02:01

12

than to wait for a reply

02:16

13

from a grief that was in fact extinct

01:24

14

like the pupae of an arctic moth

05:13

15

forever iced over

01:48

16

in a foetal position

05:47

17

so he gave in to the splendour

02:32

18

of unbearably chaste heights

06:56

19

where his belief could flower without

02:48

20

hope of an answering mankind

01:59

21

who would not answer

02:16

22

even if it silently could

01:35

23

so he smiled demurely as he walked

01:41

24

protected by his helmet of oblivion

02:06

25

from wondering when or how his future lay

03:18

26

and was less curious about this by nature than

03:18

27

a dune of sand is

01:54

28

or a fall of rain is

02:13

29

or an unwanted nebula on the run is

02:05

30

of their quantities

02:28

31

04:04

32

he trickled himself instead

02:56

33

through a narrow waste of time

01:28

34

until he fell down painlessly

01:41

35

inverting himself primitively

02:19

36

to repeat the descent and the rise

02:22

37

and had no idea he had learned

02:49

38

02:58

39

the versatility of death

02:47
